This saber was made possible by the generosity and creativity of the Crucible.
Specs:
Korbanth Graflex 2.0 original run kit - ESB Configuration including:
- Dual “Red Buttons” - front button is the blade retention, non functional
- Beer tab removed
- Hand cut aluminum tape simulaing covering the branding label
- Accuracy screws from the Saber Armory at the clamp and top section
- Correct D-ring
- ESB clamp card orginal to the kit
- Grip section with screw indents
FlashBack clamp switch by @profezzorn - rated “sexy” by my wife (that’s a great review!)
- dual buttons, AUX and POW in high/low configuration
- Micro USB access including data transfer, SD card access, and charging
- micro kill switch
Internal Chassis designed and produced by @orntar
Hilt side NPXL v3 PCB by @ShtokyD - used for effects and power distribution
Soundfont by Kyberphonic
Voicepack by @NoSloppy
Blade materials from The Custom Saber shop
- KR Pixel Strip V2 34.75"
- Direct solder PCB
- 7/8 diffused thin walled blade, foam, and internal diffusion tube
Prop and Rotoscope OT Blade Style and accent pixel style by @Fett263
Kingston Industrial 8 GB SD Card
And of course, Proffie V3.9 by Profezzorn, produced by Electronics123
All wiring done with 28 or 22 AWG PTFE, because that’s what I have hanging around.
The order of operations was the biggest challenge. A positive wire runs from the hilt pcb to the clamp switch and 7 wires run from that switch set up to the board.
The accents have been run in parallel for data to save space on the resistors. The blade data runs in series through the PCB, with subblades as provided in the v3 configurator.
The positive from the battery to the hilt PCB had to be done in two sections and then joined inside the lower chassis so I could work with the top in place, then add the bottom after the wiring was smoothed out.
Thanks, everyone! On to the next project!
